Guest markeyboy Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 lol, had a change of plan regarding body styling, the wrc bumper is no more (sold on, but still on a mk6 cabby) bought myself a cossy bib, collect it tomorrow, hopfully have it fitted ready for trax on sunday. still no progress on the engine tho also took my harnesses out, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escort Cabriolet Club Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I always thought the seats looked smart but the harnesses spoilt it, handy for track days though mate !!! The Cossie bib will look great on yours mate, I always liked EnzO's so yours will look just as good !!! Engine can go in over the winter, get your self a GAYzebo with 3 side curtains !!!

Escort Cabriolet Club Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Looks smart mate, its a propper Ghetto Snow Plough lol, at least if you leave it black you can see how it goes on ramps and humps, if it scrapes you can just paint it to fix and you will know how to handle it next time !!! Was that a Laguna Splitter on the front before the Bib ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest markeyboy Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 had no problems with it catching anything yet, been over speed bumps, up and down ramps with no issues, guna give it another coat of satin black just to tidy up a few of the scratches on there. not sure if it was the laguna one (hasnt got the holes) but it fitted really well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Webby1980 Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 splitter looks really nice mate, really adds something to the front that's lacking with the MK 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest markeyboy Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 cheers webby, had a bit of inspiration yesterday with the engine, after seeing a few cars at trax, only just being able to beat a corsa on the way there!!!!! and oncovering the engine for the first time when i came home. the aim for the week is to get the engine in my garage so i can start having a look at it and giving it a good clean up (maby even a strip down) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest markeyboy Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 front looks much better mark nice change matey cheers mick, i may go galaxy bottem end but not yet a while, should be a good hike in power as it is at the mo, been having a play on photoshop, trying out some new ideas black skirts, spats and door strips also lowered more (wont de lowering it, struggle with bups as it is) the st bumper painted (one day it may look like this) my photoshop skills still need a bit of work but im sure ya get the idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sjc Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 not sure about the black door strips as they dont flow through to the front/back bumpers, the black skirt all round the car looks good though....try to photoshop your wheels in...maybe too much but you never know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escort Cabriolet Club Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Its interesting mate, I have a mint set of RS rear Spats painted in Panther Black to add to your theme !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest markeyboy Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 not 100% on the door strips myself either, my skirts need repainting as they have a fair bit of stone chip damage, will probably prima them black and fit to see what it looks like guna try to get the st bumper on and black the bits out but thanks for the offer charlzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest markeyboy Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 big progression for me this week, finished a long overdue project which is my moto cross bike, cr125 engine in a cagiva frame with a electric water pump cos the origional one corroded (see below for pics) this is now on its way to be released back into the wid where it belongs (friends house who has 4 acres of land)- mainly so i can go out n have fun without having to trailor it there n bk so this has now freed up enough space in the garage to get my rs2k lump in there :party09: heres the pics guna pull the box off and give it a good clean n maby try polishing it (if i get really bored), check the clutch, pull the rocker off n have a look, paint things pretty colours, give it a service ect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chrisrs2kcab Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 You very close to putting that lump in now mate!! Any probs give us a shout i will try to help. Your cab is looking really sharp.I really like it. The gauges look fantastic. Ive toyed with the idea but not sure what gauges. Are they easy to fit?? What about connecting them in??
